A 5 cm diameter orfice discharges fluid from a tank with a head of 5 meters. The discharge rate, Q, is measured at 0.015 m^3/s. The actual velocity at the vena contracta is 9 m/s. The coefficient of discharge is nearest to:

Explanation:

Given that:

diameter of the orifice D = 5 cm = 5 × 10⁻² m

discharge rate Q = 0015 m³/s

Actual velocity V = 9 m/s

By using the formula

where;

= 9  m/s

where;

Again,

Hence, the coefficient of discharge
